Meet & Contact Virginia Strunk

My name is Virginia Strunk and my husband Randy and I bought this condo in late 2020 after the pandemic taught us that life is short and we need to spend more time at the beach! I am a LCSW/MFT that put my career on hold to raise our five children. I am passionate about foster care, older child adoption, relationships and family, snorkeling and SCUBA diving, and doing things that makes your heart happy. We put a lot of thought into making Octopus Garden feel like a retreat while also making it homey and comfortable.  This is our only property and we stay here frequently. That means we know all the ins and outs of our condo, Azure, and the area. We are happy to answer all your questions and give you our insider information to help make your vacation as relaxing as possible. Additionally, it means that our condo has to be comfortable enough and clean enough for our family so you know our standards are high! If you are looking for a personal touch, you have come to the right place :) We love our times here together and are excited for you and your family to make memories here as well. We hope you want to come back and visit us year after year!

The best thing about going to the beach is the beach! We love walking out our back gate and being steps away from the ocean. It makes all the difference in the world to not have to go up and down stairs, take elevators, and go through a lobby every time you need an extra drink or a break from the sun. We also love that our kids can nap inside while we sit by the pool or in the hot tub with the baby monitor- it is that close! We love how Okaloosa Island has the most beautiful white, sugary sand and turquoise water. We have the benefits of being near Destin without the crowds as hotels and condos have a 6 floor maximum- no high rises! There are fireworks on the pier Wednesdays during the summer, icecream and mini-golf across the street, and live music at AJ's right around the corner.
